Suggest some good Anime to watch plz

Hi. I'm new to this forum so please pardon me if this is the wrong place to post this.
I need some recommendations for good anime to watch. I like Ninja Scroll, Ghost in the Shell, and Hikaru No GO, and Street Fighter: The Animated Movie, so I need something similar in geanre to the ones above. I like well drawn anime with good story. I dont like exatterated mouths and tiny noses. (Hikaru is an exception)

Naruto, obviously - if you like ninja's and laughs, this is the one for you. It's my favorite anime of all time! Great characters, a action-packed plot, a little bit of romantic interest... it's great.

Bleach - this is a FANTASTIC anime. It's not as popular as Naruto, but it is really good. It's very funny. Lots of swords that have names, and special powers. And death gods - but it's not gruesome, have no fear. It's really cool. I like every single character in it.

Hellsing - Ok, this is very good, if you like that sort of thing. It has lots of blood, and a bit of religeous angst. It's about a crazy vampire who works for a human, and who's job is to eradicate other vampires. I'm warning you - LOTS of blood.

We think a flower on a cliff is beautiful
because we stop our feet at the cliff's edge,
unable to step out into the sky
like that fearless flower
- Kubo Title, Bleach, Volume 12

Yes, buyt by fans, it is common to use Rurouni Kenshin for the main series, and Samurai X for the OVAs.

Okay anime...

-Blood+....Kind of a spin off from Blood: The Last Vampire. It is about a girl named Saya, who has no memory until up to one year ago. One day she hears about these strange killings and thinks nothing of them. She leaves for school one night because she forgot her track shoes, and ends up face to face with a Chiroptera, a vampire-like creature...A lot of stuff happens, and everything is kind of intertwining and spinning around at the moment, but the series has easily become one of by favorite.

-Black Cat...The story of Train Heartnet, who is a former assassin who ran away from his group. Upon doing so, Creed, another assassin from the same group ran away, and decided to start his own assassin group to apparently take over the world. There is also Sven, a former govenment agent who now works as a Sweeper(basically a bounty hunter), Eve, a young girl who is the result of bioengineering, and Rin, a famous theif.

-Bleach...Bleach is perhaps the best currently-airing anime. Despite not having as many fans as Naruto, another very popular anime, the fanbase from Bleach seems to be a lot stonger(as in dedicated). I has been airing for a little over a year. It revolves around Kurosaki Ichigo, who obtains the powers of a shinigami in order to fight evil spirits called Hollows. The story gets a lot more complex, but trust me, it is great.

-Yakitate!!Japan....A truly great comedy series about Azuma Kazuma, who wants to make a bread which is native to Japan(as in how there is French Beard, German, Bread, and so on, but no Japanese bread). He calls his creations Ja-Pan. He goes through all sorts of wierd adventures and bake-offs, and meets all sorts of people. Although you may think this sounds strange because it is about baking, it is a very good anime.

-Tenjou Tenge...The story of Nagi Souichiro, and Bob Nakihara, who travel around taking over different high schools. One day, they get defeated by some high school students, Maya Natsume, and Takayanagi(sp?). They decided to stay at the school and train with them in order to defeat them and The Enforces, who currently control the school. But there is a lot more going on that meets the eye...

-Naruto...A show that has recently made its debut in America, and become quickly popular because of all the already-existing websites for the fans of the Japanese version. It has also introduced a lot more people to downloading anime, due to the dozens of sites which host the media. It has been airing in Japan for over 3 years now, and is at episode 166/167. It comes across as a childish anime at first, but developes into a dark, heartbreaking anime. It also has very good animation for a show which is as long running as it is.

Take note if you want a specific anime category you want to watch like sports... choose slam dunk, prince of tennis, hngry heart etc.

Rising above mediocrity never just happens, it is always a result of faith combined with works.

Whoever looks straight into my eyes would find the true meaning of life and the beauty of it.Whoever becomes my friend experiences perfect happiness.Whoever listens to my words will find a key to another world.Whoever doubts my strength will see the bitter end of their lives.
